Magnetic Resonance Imaging Market Overview
Several attributes of X-ray imaging have limited its
use over the years, specifically patient exposure to
radiation and imaging-related issues such as poor
resolution, depth, and contrast. However, the
advent of next-generation imaging technologies
has changed all that. The ability to achieve
millimeter or even sub-millimeter spatial resolution
with new X-ray computer tomography (CT) and
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners has
accelerated the use of non-invasive imaging and
opened the door to a broad set of advanced
applications. Nuclear imaging, particularly positron
emission tomography (PET), has significantly
progressed as well. While PET and CT are quickly
becoming a critical component of clinical
diagnoses, they are limited by image artifacts
related to the scanning pattern: CT and PET
images are acquired sequentially, rather than
simultaneously, which means that artifacts can be
caused by intra- and inter-scan patient and organ
motion as well as differences between the
breathing protocols used in PET and CT. These
artifacts can severely impact the accuracy of the
scanner and its attenuation correction, seriously
compromising the imaging capability. MRI does not
have these problems, and provides a large variety
of protocols that selectively enhance contrast and
thus provide enhanced visual discrimination among
different tissues in vivo, and which can be utilized
for dynamic contrast-enhanced imaging, diffusion
imaging, functional MRI, and other purposes. Most
importantly, MRI is also capable of spectroscopy
for detection of organ-specific abnormalities. With
significant advances in the MRI field, devices are
more powerful and accurate than ever.
Increased utility and ever-rising desirability will
drive the global MRI systems market to grow from
$3.7 billion in 2012 to over $9.2 billion by 2020,
increasing at a Compound Annual Growth Rate
(CAGR) of 11.8% during the forecast period.

MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING SYSTEMS – APAC ANALYSIS AND MARKET FORECASTS
Executive Summary
There are a number of key drivers for the adoption
of MRI systems globally, including:
Rising prevalence of diseases
Increased demand for cost-effective and
quality healthcare
Novel technologies driving innovation
Increased awareness of radiation dosage
Open and partial MRI systems to drive further
adoption, especially for claustrophobic patients
Expanding use of MRI techniques by non-
radiologists
Steady reimbursement and other government
funding
Ever-growing global population
Despite increasing adoption, MRI system sales still
face many market barriers, such as:
US medical device excise tax
Limited availability of venture capital
Reduced hospital budgets
Increasing prevalence of lifestyle-related
diseases
Ever-present competition from CT systems
Shortage of dedicated MRI technologists
High initial cost of capital equipment
Lack of long-term data on use of MRI in
patients
Regardless of market obstacles, GlobalData
expects steady growth in the MRI systems market,
which is still in its infancy in many countries.
Continued growth in this sector will be fueled by
continual design developments, cost reductions,
reimbursement improvements, and technology
adoption in emerging markets.
Emerging Markets to Fuel New System Adoption
Emerging economies such as China and India are
expected to continue to provide opportunities for
revenue growth in the global MRI market.
According to GlobalData estimates, the Indian and
Chinese markets accounted for 3.6% and 16.5% of
global MRI systems revenue in 2012, respectively;
this share is expected to increase further during
the forecast period as physician adoption
increases, reimbursement improves, and prices
decline.
New sales growth in these emerging regions is
expected to be fueled by the rapid uptake of less-
expensive MRI systems that will allow access to
healthcare in more remote areas of these price-
sensitive economies. With increases in average
income, growing demand for healthcare, and
higher standards for care, these emerging markets
are expected to see a rise in MRI procedures, as
these systems offer safe and valuable insight into
patient conditions and are a powerful decision-
making tool for physicians.

MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING SYSTEMS – APAC ANALYSIS AND MARKET FORECASTS
Executive Summary
Future Market Growth
The recent economic downturn has had a
continued effect on MRI system sales, especially
because competing technologies are cheaper and
in many cases offer equal imaging quality and
resolution. However, despite competition from
other diagnostic devices, MRI systems have
experienced continued adoption as cost-
effectiveness improves and innovation drives
technology improvements. The market growth for
MRI systems in the US and EU is heavily
dependent on the replacement of existing systems
that are nearing the end of their lifetime. As such,
the capacity for new installations in developed
countries is limited, and as world economies
recover, it can be expected that equipment
replacement rates will increase in the future.
Despite the need for replacements, hospitals do
not always decommission MRI systems at the end
of the product’s manufacturer-recommended
lifecycle, which negatively affects the sales of
systems in these developed markets as companies
forgo new system purchases. Additionally, a
“trickling down” of MRI system features negatively
impacts sales in developed countries: older high-
end systems are sometimes replaced with low-end
or mid-range systems, sacrificing features for cost
savings. Finally, newer systems are expected to
cost less, reducing the profit margins of
manufacturers in this space. As a result, the MRI
market is expected to be highly competitive.
Changes to reimbursement, the increasing aging
population, rising prevalence of disease, and the
escalating need for advanced imaging systems will
act as major drivers for continued growth in the
MRI market. Despite cost-containment measures
implemented by healthcare authorities, the safety
and efficacy of MRI techniques will continue to
drive new sales in developed and emerging
markets.
What Do Physicians Think?
The KOLs interviewed for this report agreed that in
terms of popularity, 1.5T (tesla) systems are
currently the most popular, although the high-field
market segment is growing quickly.
“1.5T is the most popular field strength, and [we]
can do a number of procedures with it.”
Key Opinion Leader
MRI has experienced significant adoption
worldwide as a result of its ability to produce high-
quality images, especially for soft tissue.
“MR and CT complement each other, and both
technologies are moving fairly rapidly. MR is good
for diagnostic analysis of soft tissue.”
Key Opinion Leader
The imaging technique has been adopted by an
expanding number of departments. As technology
improves and guidelines are put in place, MRI is
increasingly used for additional indications,
including oncology, neurology, and cardiology.
During the forecast period, these areas are

MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING SYSTEMS – APAC ANALYSIS AND MARKET FORECASTS
Executive Summary
expected to increasingly rely on MRI technology for
diagnostics, further driving new device sales.
“MRI of the heart, for infarction especially, is
increasing in general.”
Key Opinion Leader
“Other rising indications for MRI use include breast
and prostate cancer.”
Key Opinion Leader
While manufacturers continue to include additional
features in MRI systems, and have greatly
changed system software, the most important part
of MRI remains the image quality, physicians note.
While manufacturers may tout add-ons or next-
generation features, image quality is still the most
important factor.
“The most important criteria for selecting a new
device are the quality of the images.”
Key Opinion Leader
While third-party vendors are increasingly present
in the industry, providing competitive maintenance
or repair, and refurbished system sales are on the
rise, physicians still are not completely happy with
refurbished systems’ image quality, which in turn
continues to drive new device sales.
“It’s very difficult to achieve a homogenous signal
[with an older system].”
Key Opinion Leader
Other areas of development include diffusion MRI,
pre-polarizing systems, and parallel imaging.
Physicians are interested in these technologies
because they offer significant benefits for patient
diagnosis and allow radiologists to examine
degenerative disease or trauma using wholly new
methods.
“Multiparametric MRI is really appealing, and is
growing. It promises to greatly improve
diagnostics, especially for things like prostate
cancer.”
Key Opinion Leader
Researchers are also increasingly utilizing MRI
with other scanning technologies, like PET, to
produce hybrid images that combine the
advantages of both systems. This hybrid imaging is
fairly new to the industry but has been gaining
interest rapidly, especially in complex areas of
degenerative disease. Increasing utilization of
hybrid PET/MRI imaging will drive MRI sales as
well.
“There is a new possibility of PET/MRI hybrid
imaging that might, again, increase the MRI
demand.”

MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING SYSTEMS – APAC ANALYSIS AND MARKET FORECASTS
Introduction
2 Introduction
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems utilize strong magnetic fields and radio waves to
generate clear and detailed images of internal organs and tissues. MRI is widely used in hospitals,
and is generally the preferred imaging method for the diagnosis of brain and other neurological
disorders. MRI systems vary in the strength of the magnetic field they can produce (measured in
teslas, or “T”); devices are classified as high-field (3T), mid-field (1.5T), or low-field (less than
1.5T). These systems work in tandem with many other medical devices, including surgical tools,
radiology equipment, and MRI system accessories. MRI systems have many applications, but are
most commonly used for the imaging of nervous, cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, liver,
gastrointestinal, and cancerous structures due to their strong imaging capabilities with soft tissue.
Advancements in real-time imaging technology have enabled functional neuroimaging, a procedure
that measures brain activity by detecting associated changes in blood flow. This is known as
functional MRI (fMRI).
The US, EU, and Japanese markets make up the majority of MRI system sales, with purchasers
upgrading their outmoded systems and acquiring additional MRI systems to meet demand, within
stringent cost-effective criteria. Mid- and high-field systems dominate the market these days,
largely because they allow previously unavailable applications and greatly improve image
resolution and quality, particularly for cartilage tissue. However, these mid- and high-field MRI
systems are extremely large and complicated, making them expensive to purchase, install on-site,
and maintain. These characteristics have resulted in many hospitals deferring purchasing decisions
or seeking alternatives. Despite this, several indications require the use of high-field imaging for
diagnosis and treatment, prompting patients to travel great distances to where a high-field system
is available instead of opting for a local mid-field scan. As a result, smaller hospitals must invest in
more expensive, higher-field systems to remain competitive in the future. This has introduced a
new market of “magnet upgrades”, where major system integrators introduce new, higher-field
magnets to existing MRI systems rather than replacing the whole system, to keep the system from
become obsolete. In other areas, these high-field devices have gained little traction, especially in
the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, showing the significant diversity of purchasers looking to acquire
new systems. Overall, the MRI market will see continued growth throughout the forecast period,
with the fastest device adoption in the high-field market segment.

Introduction
2.1 Catalyst
Given their impressive safety, efficacy, and non-invasive nature, MRI systems have seen continued
adoption since they were first introduced to the healthcare market. Despite a high initial price tag as
well as substantial maintenance costs, these systems are increasingly prevalent in hospitals
around the world, and their use is now global. With a variety of options available in terms of
magnetic field strength and additional features, purchasing hospitals have a wide selection of
systems to choose from, and market offerings are only growing. As new players enter the industry
with innovative new systems during the forecast period, competition is expected to escalate to new
levels. Additionally, as the number of disease and trauma indications that can be diagnosed using
MRI increases, the number of procedures performed per year will rise as well.
Moreover, the advent of hybrid imaging has enabled PET/MRI imaging adoption. New
developments in hybrid imaging promise to further increase the demand and the utility of these
systems, while significantly improving patient cost. Healthcare reforms, stimulated by economic
pressures, have looked to reduce the burden of imaging on the healthcare system by restricting
reimbursement for various imaging procedures. This report examines the adoption of new
technologies and the challenges current competitors will face within the MRI market, with a focus
on current and future industry trends. In addition, the report will highlight the current and future
applications of MRI technology, and identify unmet needs and potential opportunities within the
market.
